    The ADN Icon in the System Tray

    Once the ADN application is installed, you can see the ADN icon in the system tray as follows. This tray icon allows agents to do certain tasks even when the application is closed.

    Note

    When an agent clicks the close (X) button in the upper right corner of the ADN application, the ADN application does not completely quit. This action only minimizes the application into the lower right corner (system tray), but retains the logon status of the agent and allows the agent to accept phone calls.

    ADN Security

    Most of the ADN functionality is based on the Chrome and LiveVox ADN tries to adopt the latest Chrome version as early as possible.
    In addition to the security features of ADN adopted Chrome version and any backported bug fixes, ADN has additional layers of security as below.

    • At the network-access layer, ADN filters the request based on a domain-whitelist. By default, this allows only secure LiveVox pages to load into the ADN. At clients' discretion, this configuration can be expanded to include client-internal domains as well. By limiting network access in this way, it becomes much harder to attack the ADN with a drive-by exploit.
    • For client-configured allowed domains, ADN severely restricts the available features such as media access, and ADN advanced APIs are disabled for all the domains except the LiveVox Agent Panel.
    • ADN uses only the Chrome core features and does not use many features such as the Google Search-bar, the chrome:settings pages, the ability to install plugins/extensions, bookmark functionality, etc. So any exploits which target these features are ineffective.
